Kuhler 620 vs. Seidom 120M

[Flightsimluke]

Hello,

Yet another question about cooling, and this time it's about watercooling.

I have decided that if I want to run my Phenom X4 at the Limit (My one will go to 4.3GHZ on Stock Volts), I will need water cooling. I already have a silent fan from my CM Storm Scout, so my decision is between two water coolers.

1) The Antec Kuhler 620 Series 4 (£47.99): http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-005-AN&groupid=701&catid=2330&subcat=2262

2) The CoolerMaster Seidom 120M (£47.99): http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-003-CM&groupid=701&catid=2330&subcat=2262

So as you can see, they are both priced the same, so the question is, which one is better?

Many Thanks
Luke

If you insist on using an allinone then http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-015-CS is the minimum I'd recommend, single rad coolers aren't any better than air and often noisier to match the performance
If its between the two you listed I'd say stay on air, if you want to push that chip further then real water is in order, not a Fisherprice unit
This is a baseline kit from Xspc, http://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/p/XSPC-RayStorm-750-RS240-WaterCooling-Kit_33620.html
they do upgraded kits that come with better pumps and blocks but that means more money, this is minimum W/c territory and keep an eye out for the Swiftech 220 kit coming soon
